Pursuant to the Agreement, Hyperscale Data has agreed to issue and sell to A&amp;C up to $25 million in shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"). The Preferred Shares will be senior to all other classes of preferred stock the Company has outstanding except with respect to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), with which it ranks in parity, as well as senior to the Company's Class A common stock ("Common Stock").
Each Preferred Share shall have a stated value of $1,000.00 per share and, upon stockholder approval, shall be convertible at the holder's option into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.10 per share (the "Floor Price"), which Floor Price shall not, except for voting rights purposes, be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) the lesser of (A) $6.74, or (B) a 5% premium to the closing sale price of the Common stock on the day immediately prior to the date of conversion (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price will be subject to standard anti-dilution provisions in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or similar reclassification of the Common Stock. The Preferred Stock also has "full ratchet" price protection in the event the Company should issue securities at a lower price than the Conversion Price. The Preferred Stock shall pay a dividend at an annual rate of 9.5%, which the Company may, during the first two years, pay in shares of Common Stock.
Further, A&amp;C will receive warrants ("Warrants") to purchase up to approximately 4.25 million shares of Common Stock, presuming that the full amount of the Preferred Shares is sold, exercisable for five years at $5.92 per share, subject to adjustment.
The proceeds from the Financing will be used for expansion of the MI data center to support infrastructure upgrades necessary to support the growing demands of high-performance computing services powering Artificial Intelligence solutions, repayment of outstanding indebtedness and general working capital purposes.

Two out of the four major index futures were trading higher in premarket trade.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury yields stood at 4.53% and 4.32%, respectively. The probability of having no change in the interest rates for the upcoming Jan. 31, 2025 decision was at 91.4%, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch Tool.

In premarket trading on Monday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.09% to $591.73 and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 0.23% to $519.04, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.

Risk appetite returned to Wall Street on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42627563/wall-street-rallies-as-soft-inflation-data-fuels-dip-buying-bonds-rebound-travel-stocks-soar-whats-driving-markets-friday">Friday</a>, giving investors some relief. November&#8217;s inflation data came in softer than expected, offering a glimmer of hope that the Federal Reserve may ease its aggressive monetary tightening.
The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, rose 2.4% year-over-year, below the anticipated 2.5%. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also undershot expectations, climbing 2.8% instead of the projected 2.9%.
This unexpected cooling of inflation sparked a jubilant rally across all major indices. The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.09%, with every sector contributing to the gains. Investors cheered the reprieve from persistent inflationary pressures.
The real estate sector led the charge, experiencing a sharp rebound after being particularly hard-hit by the Fed&#8217;s recent hawkish stance. Small-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000, also posted strong gains of 0.94%, buoyed by a significant recovery in regional banks.

Insights From Analysts
The number of advancers surpassed the decliners among the S&amp;P 500 index constituents on Friday after a 14-day streak of negative market breadth. Ryan Detrick, the global market strategist at Carson Research highlighted how the markets have performed after previous long streaks ended.

According to the data shared by him, over the past four decades, there have been only five other instances where the S&amp;P 500 experienced a period of ten or more consecutive days of negative breadth. Additionally, the index was higher by an average of 17.9% a year later after all five times.

Along with this, the market breadth turned positive with 89% of the stocks rising on Friday as compared to only 4% on Wednesday. This divergence also led the index to be higher a year later by at least 92.3% of the time since 1985.

According to Gary Alexander at Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;The S&amp;P 500 delivers an average of zero gains in the first half of December (and 0.3% through December 15 this year) but averages 1.35% in the second half, the best half-month of the 24 half-months each year.&#8221;
&#8220;Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure, excluding food and energy), the key inflation metric for the Fed, came in at 0.1% for November, below forecast and the lowest since June. This caught the market off guard, in a good way, as the rhetoric from Jerome Powell regarding sticky inflation had led the market to expect a surprise in the other direction,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates.
&#8220;The traditional Santa Rally is the last 5 trading days of the year and the first 2 of the New Year. It may still be in the cards,&#8221; he added.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (the "Company" or "Hyatt") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) today disclosed it has executed an exclusivity agreement with Playa Hotels &amp; Resorts N.V. ("Playa") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLYA#NASDAQ">PLYA</a>) under which Playa has agreed to negotiate exclusively with Hyatt regarding potential strategic alternatives, which may include the acquisition of Playa by Hyatt.
Mark S. Hoplamazian, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hyatt, said, "Playa has been a valuable partner for many years, is one of the world's strongest operators of all-inclusive resorts, and owns a premier portfolio of high-quality, high-end all-inclusive resorts in iconic locations and key markets across the Caribbean and Mexico. Strategic alternatives under consideration could have compelling strategic merit to add new incremental durable fee streams for Hyatt.

There can be no assurances that any transaction will result from Hyatt's exclusive discussions with Playa, or on what terms. Hyatt does not intend to comment further on these discussions unless and until a definitive agreement has been fully executed.
As required by federal securities laws, Hyatt, which is the beneficial owner of 9.99% of Playa's outstanding shares, has filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose these discussions.

The number of stocks advancing surpassed those declining among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/s-p-500">S&amp;P 500 index</a> constituents on Friday after a 14-session streak of negative market breadth. Now, Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Global, has predicted gains ahead, citing historical market data.
What Happened: Risk appetite returned to Wall Street on Friday, leading to a sigh of relief from investors. Detrick highlighted how the markets have performed after previous such streaks ended.

According to the data shared by him, over the past four decades, there have been only five other instances where the S&amp;P 500 experienced a period of ten or more consecutive days of negative breadth. Additionally, the index was higher by an average of 17.9% a year later after all five times.

The market breadth turned positive with 89% of the stocks rising on Friday as compared to only 4% on Wednesday. This divergence also led the index to be higher a year later by at least 92.3% of the time since 1985.

Why It Matters: The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, rose 2.4% year-over-year, below the anticipated 2.5%. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also undershot expectations, climbing 2.8% instead of the projected 2.9%.
This unexpected cooling of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42627563/wall-street-rallies-as-soft-inflation-data-fuels-dip-buying-bonds-rebound-travel-stocks-soar-whats-driving-markets-friday">inflation </a>sparked a jubilant rally across all major indices on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.09%, with every sector contributing to the gains. Investors cheered the reprieve from persistent inflationary pressures.
The real estate sector led the charge, experiencing a sharp rebound after being particularly hard-hit by the Fed&#8217;s recent hawkish stance. Small-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000, also posted strong gains of 0.94%, buoyed by a significant recovery in regional banks.
Price Action: The 14-day long streak entailing the trading days spanning from market close on Nov. 29 to Dec. 19, saw the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) down by 2.07% and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) up by 0.65%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data. On Friday, SPY advanced 1.20% and QQQ ended 0.87% higher.

Over the last month, the S&amp;P 500 index is down by 0.94%, but year-to-date, it is up 25.05%.
The Nasdaq 100 index, on the other hand, is 2.33% over the last month and 28.68% year-to-date.

Market Breadth Rebounds As Risk Appetite Makes A Comeback: This Analyst Predicts Gains Ahead After S&P 500's Record Negative Streak

America&#8217;s increasing reliance on government debt has been labeled a &#8220;fatal flaw&#8221; by&nbsp;Ruchir Sharma, chair of&nbsp;Rockefeller International. He warns that this dependency is creating a massive economic bubble that is on the verge of bursting. 
What Happened: The &#8220;mother of all bubbles&#8221; in the U.S. economy, driven by excessive debt, is on the verge of bursting, according to&nbsp;Ruchir Sharma, chair of&nbsp;Rockefeller International. In a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/9a0da0d6-92b4-4034-ac25-7b4abcbb0bbe">column</a>&nbsp;in the Financial Times, Sharma highlighted America&#8217;s growing dependency on government debt as a critical weakness. He noted that attempts to control this addiction could hinder economic growth and corporate earnings.
Sharma emphasized that while Wall Street celebrates strong earnings, these figures are less impressive when adjusted&nbsp;for government spending and the&nbsp;influence of major tech companies. He pointed out that &#8220;supernormal profits&#8221; often normalize due to competition. The current economic boost is partly due to unprecedented deficit spending, which inflates growth and profits artificially.
&#8220;But every hero has a fatal flaw. America's is its sharply increasing addiction to government debt,&#8221; he wrote.

According to Sharma, U.S. public debt is nearing 100% of GDP, a level not seen since World War II. The cost of servicing this debt has surged, with interest expenses now reaching $1 trillion annually, surpassing defense spending. Despite the federal deficit, U.S. households and businesses maintain strong financial health, supporting the economy.
Sharma warned that next year, investors might demand higher interest rates or fiscal discipline, potentially reducing reliance on government spending and affecting growth. He also noted that other global economies could challenge America&#8217;s economic dominance, signaling an end to the current bubble.
Why It Matters: The warning from Sharma&nbsp;aligns with concerns raised by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41495286/deficit-strain-in-washington-will-get-worse-imf-warns-national-debt-projections-rev">International Monetary Fund (IMF)</a>&nbsp;about the U.S. fiscal outlook. In October, the IMF projected a persistently high budget deficit and a national debt unlikely to stabilize by 2029. The Washington-based institution highlighted that both U.S. and Chinese debts have a low probability of stabilizing, underscoring the global implications of America&#8217;s fiscal policies. 
Meanwhile, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500, has increased 25.07% in terms of year-to-date (YTD) returns while that of Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose by 28.83%, as of Monday pre-market hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

America's 'Fatal Flaw' Is Its 'Sharply Increasing Addiction' To Government Debt, Says Expert And The 'Mother Of All Bubbles' Is Ready To Pop

In a groundbreaking development,&nbsp;Botto, an AI-powered artist, has successfully generated over $5 million through the auction of its digital artworks since 2021. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the intersection of technology and art.
What Happened: Botto, a &#8220;decentralized autonomous artist,&#8221; has been making waves in the art world. Developed&nbsp;by software collective ElevenYellow and&nbsp;German artist&nbsp;Mario Klingemann, Botto creates images based on algorithmic prompts, initially using random words and symbols. Each week, it generates approximately 70,000 images, presenting 350 to the BottoDAO community for voting, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/botto-the-ai-machine-artist-making-millions-of-dollars.html">reported</a>&nbsp;on Monday.
The BottoDAO, comprising around 5,000 members, selects one image weekly to be sold on the SuperRare NFT platform. Voting is free, but purchasing Botto tokens grants additional voting points, increasing influence on Botto&#8217;s creative output. Half of the auction proceeds are shared among voters, while the rest funds Botto&#8217;s operations. Notably, Botto&#8217;s value has soared, with two early images fetching $276,000 at a recent Sotheby&#8217;s auction, despite initial reserve prices of $13,000 to $15,000.

Klingemann predicts that AI will soon surpass human creativity in art, with Botto&#8217;s success challenging traditional notions of authorship and emphasizing the collaborative nature of art creation.
Why It Matters: The rise of AI-generated art has sparked significant debate within the art community. In February, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37398914/the-4-700-artist-ai-controversy-artists-accuse-midjourney-and-other-ai-firms-of-unauthorized-use-in">lawsuit&nbsp;highlighted concern</a>s over the unauthorized use of copyrighted works by AI art generator companies, including Midjourney and Stability AI. This legal battle underscores the need for regulation in the rapidly evolving AI-generated art space.
Additionally, artists have taken measures to protect their work from unauthorized AI usage. In January 2024, a tool called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36712239/turning-ai-against-itself-nightshade-is-a-free-ai-poisoning-tool-that-aims-to-protect-artists">Nightshade&nbsp;was introduced</a>, employing &#8220;data poisoning&#8221; to make copyrighted images irreproducible by AI image generators. This development highlights the ongoing tension between technological innovation and artistic integrity.

Japanese automakers Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) have started talks for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42541842/japanese-auto-giants-nissan-honda-eye-merger-says-nikkei">potential merger</a>, the two companies said on Monday.
What Happened: Nissan and Honda are planning to establish a joint holding company that will serve as the parent company for both Nissan and Honda. 
The joint holding parent company will be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Nissan and Honda will subsequently be delisted. The listing of the joint holding company is scheduled for August 2026.
The two companies aim to wrap up talks by June 2025. 
With the merger, the companies aim to increase sales revenue to more than 30 trillion Japanese Yen (approx. $191.34 billion) and to increase operating profits by more than 3 trillion yen.
Why It Matters: "Creation of new mobility value by bringing together the resources including knowledge, talents, and technologies that Honda and Nissan have been developing over the long years is essential to overcome challenging environmental shifts that the auto industry is facing,&#8221;&nbsp;Honda Director and Representative Executive Officer Toshihiro Mibe said. 
&#8220;We are still at the stage of starting our review, and we have not decided on a business integration yet&#8230;,&#8221; he added. 
Mitsubishi Motors is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/12/42545185/nissan-soar-over-20-on-merger-talks-with-honda-eyeing-8-million-annual-vehicle-sales">considering joining the merger</a>, the companies said, while adding that the smaller company is aiming to conclude whether it will participate by the end of January.
Nissan is a shareholder in Mitsubishi Motors.
The integration of the companies will mark the biggest merger in global auto history since Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/21/01/18991944/worlds-4th-largest-automaker-set-to-take-shape-monday">merged in 2021 to create</a> Stellantis NV.
